Stone bridges

Bridges have always fascinated me. Especially ones made out of stone. I always wonder about the people who built them. What were they like? Must be some great stories behind each one
































This one is just beautiful!

  1. Just beautiful. Some from just an engineering point of view, some artistic.
    SiGraybeard did a post last month on lifespan of bridges and linked to a 3000 year old bridge in Greece.

    1. I like the one that had the steps built into the structure - wonder why they did that?
